Stud Question
What size studs do the new C63S use? Is it 14x1.5 like the W204?

You do know they use lug bolts and not studs right?

You can install much stronger studs and they're required by some racing/sanctioning bodies.

Extended studs can sometimes make the difference between whether a wheel comes off the car or not, when something breaks or comes loose (speaking from first hand experience there...).

Some people also feel it's easier to install a wheel with studs.

It is a little easier to install with studs I agree but when is the last time you saw the bolts on a properly installed tire not on the track, shear or have a problem?

Might be due to use of spacers?

You could then try various thickness spacers with no need to buy different length bolts if you use extended studs and lug nuts.

IMO it's mostly for looks... But it does make swapping out wheels a hellavu lot easier.

One of the best mods ever. It makes putting your wheels back on x10000 times easier as opposed to trying to grip all 12mm of hub lip with your wheel.

OP - take a look at my thread for more info.
